Chapter 228: The Tarot Club's "Offline Event"
Emlyn, sitting in the giant's hall filled with mysterious gray mist, felt a little strange when he saw "Justice" and "The Magician" across the long bronze table, and Mr. "The World" to his left.
Wasn't it always Miss "Justice" and Miss "Judgment" who were in charge of contacting Raphael?
Why is Miss "Magician" present at this impromptu gathering about Raphael, but not Miss "Judgment"?
After everyone had arrived, "The World" Klein said, "I've invited the three of you here today because I have something to discuss with you regarding Raphael."
"Justice" Audrey was also a little puzzled. Why would they ask "The Moon" to come over with matters concerning Raphael? Hadn't he only met Raphael once?
"The Magician" Fors was even more confused. She was just getting ready to get up when she suddenly received a notification from "The World".
Emlyn "The Moon" glanced furtively at the head of the bronze table, where gray mist swirled, and Mr. "The Fool" was nowhere to be seen, which he found somewhat unusual. The next moment, he began to listen attentively to Mr. "The World's" description.
Klein briefly explained that he had previously given Raphael a mission, which Raphael had exceeded expectations in order to reward him with the "Wraith" trait.
He then said, "As you know, I am currently in the Land Forsaken by God," and unable to fulfill my promise. Therefore, after consulting with Raphael, I plan to issue a mission to "Justice" and "The Magician" at the New Year's gathering, asking the two of you to explore with Raphael—"
At this point, Emlyn understood why he had been called here.
Audrey and Fors were slightly taken aback, but then felt that they could completely accept such a task.
The World possesses the "Manipulator" trait, so Audrey is currently trying to acquire this trait through merit points and will definitely accept this mission.
Fors already owes "the world" a lot of favors, such as when he took her to the spirit world to mark four locations and complete the ritual for advancing to Sequence 5. In order to repay those favors, she will also take on this task.
Klein continued, "Mr. Fool just informed me that Raphael went to see Mr. Moon again today, saying he hopes to involve him in this operation to prevent the two Sequence 5s I contacted from trying to monopolize the extraordinary gains."
The hall was silent for a second or two before "Justice" Audrey burst into silvery laughter, and "Magician" Fors couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
Audrey chuckled and said, "I never imagined that the friend Raphael trusted wouldn't be a colleague from the Aurora Society, but rather Mr. 'Moon.'"
Emlyn smiled and said, "I've said it before, Raphael has excellent judgment, and vampires are trustworthy."
Klein thought to himself: Don't overthink it, Raphael just thinks you're easy to control.
Audrey then asked, "Mr. World, what should we do now?"
"I will still issue missions to you." Klein then said to Emlyn, "Tonight, write to Raphael and tell him that the two Sequence 5 helpers Dawn found for him are members of the same organization as you."
Emlyn was taken aback: "Tell him the truth?"
Klein shrugged: "In matters like this, we need to show at least the bare minimum of sincerity."
In fact, he knew very well that if he didn't make any explanations, Emlyn would definitely not be able to fool Raphael once their operation began.
So why not just take the initiative and tell Raphael about it directly?
Emlyn nodded. "Okay, I'll write to him."
Klein hummed in agreement, and that concluded most of the necessary communication at the impromptu gathering.
After sending the other members back, Klein waited a while and, as expected, received Raphael's prayer, who wanted to confirm the timing of the exploration of the Quaternary ruins with the people sent by Dawn Dantes.
After communication, the exploration time was set for 8:00 AM the day after tomorrow.
Backland West.
Raphael didn't have much preparation to make for this exploration.
With his current strength, if this exploration only involves the dangers mentioned in the notes, it shouldn't be too dangerous.
He brought in help mainly to help block any potential Saint-level monsters; every extra person meant another cannon fodder.
But once the matter was settled, Raphael became somewhat uneasy, and by evening he finally understood why he felt that way.
Emlyn White wrote him a letter saying that the two Sequence 5 helpers that En Dantes had found were members of the same organization as him.
-
Raphael stared at the letter for a second or two before realizing: What the hell did I end up in this organization's mess?
Why are all these "middle-sequence" extraordinary individuals I've actively met members of Dawn Dantes' organization?
Then, as if realizing something, he wrote to Audrey and Hugh separately, asking if they had any plans for Tuesday morning.
A reply was received quickly. Audrey said she had taken action and knew that the action was related to Raphael.
Then Hugh replied, saying that she hadn't taken any action, but Fors had, and that this action was related to Raphael.
Raphael roughly realized that the people he knew were probably all the members of Dawn's organization in Backlund.
The "Eye of Illusion" incident later evolved into a collaboration between Hugh and her organization and the "Temperance Faction".
This exploration turned into another "outing" they organized.
Raphael smiled helplessly. He regretted inviting Mr. Emlyn. This way, there was one more person to share the spoils, and if they really wanted to seize the extraordinary harvest, it would be one against three instead of one against two.
However, when he learned who En had asked to help him complete this exploration, he breathed a sigh of relief. Based on his understanding of Audrey and Fors, he was indeed not worried about having his spoils stolen.
Since things have come to this, this is the only way to make it official.
Then Raphael prayed to Mr. Fool and asked Dawn Dantes what their organization was called.
I received a reply quickly: Tarot Club.
Raphael thought back for a moment; it was an unfamiliar and mysterious organization.
Two days later, at eight o'clock in the morning, the four of them met at Backlund Park at the agreed time. Audrey wore a veil, and the thin veil hung down to cover her face.
The other three people's true faces had never been published in the newspapers, so they didn't try to hide them.
After they gathered together, Audrey smiled and said to Raphael, "We were somewhat surprised that you invited this gentleman to participate in the operation."
Raphael shrugged, somewhat helplessly, and said, "I don't have a list of your organization's members."
